So I started leaving my mantle greenry up and decorating it for Valentines! From sometime in September to the middle of February we have twinkling lights all a glow.<br />I join you in the January slump and feel as though Christmas never happened here. We were all alone and didn't even wrap gifts for each ... All our normal festivities were curtailed. With the bitter cold and snow outside I just want to curl up with a good book. I finally made it out yesterday while waiting for an appointment to the after Christmas sales just to find most all gone. I am glad you found tons and really like all your adorable finds. <br />I too am off to fold laundry, the dryer just beeped;0)<br />Happy New Year!Beth at Auntieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878533662208781834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-59749959872621835772011-01-06T13:34:48.712-06:002011-01-06T13:34:48.712-06:00Thanks to Kristin at "My Uncommon Slice of Su...Thanks to Kristin at "My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia" my first ever link party for Cottage Flora Thursday's is up & running!

Not because I didn't have the Christmas spirit anymore but because I am about to open a daycare/preschool in my home! So I guess I have been to busy to get the blah's at this point but I'm sure they will catch up sooner or later. ; )<br />I did take time for a little after Christmas shopping as well. <br />I love what you found at Target. You have to love Target. : )<br />Looking forward to your chandelier story!<br />xx<br />KarenHeartfelt livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987804049127364114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-31571669235742539292011-01-06T10:40:10.419-06:002011-01-06T10:40:10.419-06:00Jane, I love reading through your entries this mor...Jane, I love reading through your entries this morning. So many things that really resonate with me. That strange feeling that comes after the holidays. That snow photo is just gorgeous. Wish I was there. I never did get out of the house for post Christmas sales and your post is making me think it was a mistake. :) I enjoyed looking at your profile again. We have so many common interests but seeing Mrs. Piggle Wiggle just makes me smile and smile. Happy New Year to you! Thank you for all your visits and comments on my blog.
